Bare metal servers have different BMCs with different redfish feature sets.

Metal3 relies on Ironic to integrate with the BMC via Redfish.

We can check that a server is compliant with the Ironic feature set using Redfish-Interop-Validator.

• Install the Redfish-Interop-Validator tool

pip install redfish_interop_validator

• That tool checks servers agaist a profile. There already are a few profiles in the repo but we want to check the Ironic profile.

curl -o ironic-profile.json https://opendev.org/openstack/ironic/raw/commit/337871c82175b9f94796af724dcd977733a63d47/redfish-interop-profiles/OpenStackIronicProfile.v1_1_0.json

• Run the command with the BMC properties

rf_interop_validator -i https://192.168.1.120 -u bmc-user -p bmc-password  ironic-profile.json

This will create an HTML file that is easier to read.
